Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 61
"Your Highness, you have [-] palace guards by your side, and I also have [-] warriors brought from Fengyang. We can choose the elite among them and find an opportunity to ambush them. When the time comes, you will bring them out and announce Zhu Cihong's crime."

"Then you don't show mercy, you must hack to death on the spot, otherwise there will be troubles in the future. I have seen too many such examples before."

Lu Jiude said to King Fu earnestly that maybe the three major cases in the Wanli period had impressed him too deeply, or maybe he felt that if he hadn't killed the killer back then, he might not be the prince today. It has long belonged to Zhu Yousong.

"Okay, it's a good idea." Fu Wang slapped his thigh, and couldn't help but admire Lu Jiude's pointing wisdom.

Ma Shiying sat on the side and heard Lu Jiude came up with such an idea, while Zhu Yousong still had a very appreciative expression on his face, thinking, these two guys don't really want to kill Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong is the crown prince, the prince of the country, and his status is higher than that of Prince Fu. If King Fu and Lu Jiude do this, it is undoubtedly an act of subjugation, minister killing the king, and an act of treason and immorality.

Thinking of this, Ma Shiying couldn't hold back anymore, he stood up angrily, pointed at Lu Jiude's nose and said loudly, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"He is the crown prince. If you do this, what is the law of etiquette, and where is the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty?"

Ma Shiying looked very imposing, but Lu Jiude broke his defense with just a few light words.

"No matter what we do, we won't do anything out of line with Emperor Taizong." Lu Jiude smiled evilly.

Indeed, the vassal king raised troops to fight against the central government, and finally killed the emperor and became the emperor himself. This is even incomparable to Tang Taizong and Song Taizu.

Hearing what Lu Jiude said, Ma Shiying was really speechless. These eunuchs have always had no bottom line and no integrity, and they have nothing to do with a scholar-bureaucrat like him who has integrity and spiritual pursuit.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, King Fu hurriedly persuaded, "You two lovers, don't quarrel. I've decided to use Lu Jiude's suggestion."

"By the way, when are we going to ambush?" After King Fu said this, Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude's jaws almost dropped in shock. They had to ask the courtiers about everything, so what kind of monarch would he be?

"Well, Your Highness can use the excuse of offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple to invite the prince to come. The Ancestral Temple is a place to worship ancestors. It is not suitable to carry weapons or warriors. Take this opportunity to make the prince." Lu Jiude made a neck wipe Action, indicating that Zhu Cihong will be killed in the Taimiao at that time.

"Okay, that's a good idea, Lu Jiude, thanks to your help, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do today." Fu Wang said while patting Lu Jiude on the shoulder with a smile.

When Lu Jiude saw King Fu say this, his instinct of flattery as a eunuch was activated unconsciously. He nodded and bowed and smiled at King Fu and said, "Your Highness is so wise and powerful, and the heroic souls of Shenzong and the noble concubine are protecting you in the sky."

"The slave is just fulfilling his duty to speak for His Highness. Even if there is no slave, His Highness will definitely come up with a better way."

Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng felt disgusted when they saw Lu Jiude's extremely flattering appearance. Although they often did this in front of King Fu for the sake of power, can scholars be called flattery and flattery?

Obviously it can't be done. Their behavior can at best be regarded as humility, giving the king some face.

"In the next few days, you will choose guards for the lonely. When you invite Zhu Cihong to enter the Taimiao, you will lay an ambush in the surrounding palaces in advance, and rush in when the time is right, and join me in chopping Zhu Cihong into meat sauce." .”

After speaking, Fu Wang sat on the chair and held the armrest and laughed loudly. He had never been so excited in more than 30 years.

Although he was very excited that day when he was in charge of the state, because he was only one step away from the throne, but for some reason, his heart trembled with excitement today, he had never experienced this before.

At first he thought it was a bad omen, but later he figured it out. When doing dangerous things, people's hearts will inevitably tremble and agitate. This is normal, and there is no need to think too much.

When King Fu ordered everyone to leave, Ma Shiying stood at the gate of King Fu's mansion, grabbed Lu Jiude, and led him to the base of the wall.

"What's the matter if I don't know Yaocao?" Since joining Zhu Yousong's supervision, Lu Jiude has worked with Prince Fu. Lu Jiude has regarded Ma Shiying as one of his own. Yaocao is Ma Shiying's name.

"Lu Jiude, why did you say that in front of His Highness? Don't you know that you will be scolded by the world if you do so?"

"Swear? Haha, Master Ma, don't be joking. Now King Fu and the prince are in the same situation. Either the prince is dead or the prince is dead." Hearing Ma Shiying's words, Lu Jiude laughed as if he had heard a child's joke. .

"If King Fu does not ascend the throne, then only the prince will be left. Do you think we have a chance to survive? Maybe the prince will forgive King Fu and find a place for him because of the family relationship and the sake of the late emperor. Let him die."

"But you haven't thought about us? What should we do? I am an eunuch, you are a powerful minister, and Ruan Dabeard is an eunuch with a reputation for rebellion. Do you think that after the prince ascends the throne, Qian Qianyi, Donglin Fushe, etc. Can people keep us alive?"

"If I don't confiscate the Yi family, I will kneel on the ground to thank those ministers."

Hearing Lu Jiude's words, Ma Shiying's back was already wet. Only at this moment did he realize that Lu Jiude, the eunuch, is really vicious. For his own life, he did not hesitate to plot against King Fu and dragged him into the water as well.

"You eunuch, King Fu is the grandson of Concubine Wan Gui, your master, do you treat him like this? Are you worthy of them?"

Once Lu Jiude's poisonous plan fails, everyone will die, even King Fu, the difference is that King Fu will definitely not be condemned by the clan, at most he will die alone. After all, he is the prince of the clan, with noble status and special status. It is not easy to attack him after he is enthroned.

"Ma Shiying, it's in vain that you have read so many books. Can't you see that I am just following the trend? The prince's desire for the throne has reached its extreme. No one can stop him at this time. Even if I don't come up with this idea, I'm afraid he will We need to summon troops from the vassal towns outside Beijing to attack."

"You don't know, I did this to minimize the damage, otherwise, on the day when the lives of the people in Nanzhili will be ruined, who you say should be blamed, I will assist the prince, don't you want to bear the infamy of eternal scolding for him? ?”
